Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Sousea scored six from an xG of 4, finishing two goals above the chance-quality estimate. That is significant overperformance, though the 17 shots and 15 on target show that the goals were supported by sustained attacking output rather than a single unlikely burst. Cham Rangers registered an xG of 0.26 and no goal from their one attempt on target. The possession figures, 52% to 48%, were close; the shot count was not. The difference was less about who held the ball and more about what each side managed to do with it.

The quick start gave Sousea a platform, and the second goal arrived before the half-hour mark. Kyuchul Koo then made it three in the 27th minute, leaving Cham Rangers with a steep task and little evidence of a route back: just one shot all match. The three away yellow cards and two for Sousea added some friction, but did not alter the shape of the contest.

After the break, Sousea added three more goals in ten minutes of match time, from the 67th through the 77th. Justo Gonzalez was central to the late scoring as well as the opening goal, finishing the day with one goal and three assists. Sousea’s six-goal margin was larger than its xG advantage, but the visitors’ limited attacking return and the hosts’ 15 shots on target made the final score a clear reflection of the balance of threat.
